HM Courts and Tribunals Service: Data Protection

Asked by Dr Kieran MullanConservativeMinistry of JusticeTabled Answered 27 February 2026UIN 112926

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, to provide a list of organisations and individuals that are provided court lists containing home addresses and dates of birth of individuals, by HM Courts & Tribunals Service, either centrally or via individual courts.

Answered by Sarah Sackman

Home addresses and dates of birth of individuals are not included in Crown Court, County Court, Family Court, High Court, lists of hearings, nor in lists of hearings in the Tribunals.

Standard lists of hearings produced by the Magistrates Court do contain the home addresses and dates of birth of individuals due to appear in court. These lists are only available to approved accredited members of the media, criminal justice partners and other government departments with legitimate reasons for requiring such information.

The names of individuals and organisations provided with court lists, containing home addresses and dates of birth of individuals is not collated or stored centrally.
